“For the inaugural 展览 in its new museum in Boston, 麦克马伦博物馆很高兴能与全市的同事合作，组织和主办这个国家有史以来最全面、最具学术野心的手稿展览之一的最大部分,” said McMullen博物馆 Director and Professor of 艺术 History Nancy Netzer.
超过180件作品将在博物馆新落成的戴利和莫南画廊展出，其中许多是首次展出. Published by the McMullen, 展览的目录是一份开创性的参考工作，来自世界各地的85位学者贡献了条目和论文，首次将波士顿地区保存的最辉煌的中世纪和文艺复兴时期的照明手稿汇集在一起.”
“真是太好了 无法用语言表达 will be the first 展览 in 太阳城网赌平台’s impressive new McMullen博物馆,” said co-curator Jeffrey F.

I think that visitors will be surprised and delighted by the quality, 创造力, and sheer variety of the materials on display.”
的 无法用语言表达 展览 is displayed at three leading Boston-area cultural institutions, as no single institution could independently realize the curators’ vision. 这种非常规的, collaborative approach has many advantages, they say: 的 multi-venue format reflects the consortial nature of the project, 其中包括来自19个图书馆和博物馆的手稿和印刷书籍, reflecting the richness of resources in the Boston area.
在霍顿图书馆，将这些书分成三组还可以转移主题焦点, the monastic library; 在麦克马伦博物馆, the lay library; and at the Gardner Museum, 意大利人文主义图书馆——它容纳了展出的不同性质的藏品，并允许策展人以大胆的笔触呈现这本书从中世纪早期到文艺复兴和宗教改革的历史.
Although each venue has its own integrity and can be viewed separately, the 展览 was conceived as an integrated whole. Most of the manuscripts were conserved and digitized as part of the 展览; as a result, 它们现在比以往任何时候都更容易接近，而且被描述得更详细.
